Can we stop talking about impeachment and start talking about imprisonment

Ace of Base ft. Charles Sanders Peirce, "The (Theory of the) Sign"

I could probably dig up the specific color values if I pestered their GitHub repository long enough.

Anyways, it turns out that free software made in community is Good, Actually.)

Starting to have real affection for the color palette of highlights in Zotero's reader (dark mode).

I know at least a few people who need to know about this 19th century ivory cane topper that opens up to a scene of gay fellatio. nwcartographic.com/collections/...

Normal people might not—but thankfully some of us aren't normal, and some songs are exceptional.

(Deleted & reworded that, since I realized the earlier phrasing could be read as implying ideas I don't mean. Sorry for the double-message!)

I'm as far from being a lawyer as I am from joining the Artemis II crew, but I wonder whether signage around "this one has urinals" / "this one doesn't have urinals" might thread the needle of useful information & avoiding gender-based description. (Anyone can use stand-to-pee devices if they want!)

It'll get really interesting* really quickly if journals started hosting publicly-accessible pages that eg contained authors' ORCIDs & the number of bogus citations in submissions received from them.

*In bad ways as well as good, I'm sure; people could find nefarious uses for this under-baked idea.

It's been like 20 years, mind you. But if I recall correctly, the "wall of shame" had to be out of sight of all customers, due to various (good!) privacy reasons.

I'm not sure there's a need to be so considerate around academics doing harm to a journal, or to scholarly communications more broadly.

Chief Slop Officer

When I worked at a record store, the owners kept a bad check "wall of shame". (We'd get in trouble if we accepted checks from those customers, even if the new check passed.)

It'll get *interesting* if academic journals start doing the same for authors whose submissions contain fake citations.

Just regarding that last sentence, one of the weirdest & also most plausible claims I've read is that you can encourage far better aim if you put little stickers that look like flies in the spot you want them to aim the stream. Not sure where one would source those, but I think they exist?

We're on strike! Don't visit propublica.org on April 8

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today.

Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

In addition to our code being open on GitHub, we've also got a @proghist.bsky.social peer-reviewed lesson on using Jekyll+GH Pages for our collaborative DH research+active blog publishing site workflows:

Honestly did not expect the NYT to run a story finally exposing Satoshi Nakamoto as the person behind Banksy.

I love that the book banning little freaks get booted from school/library boards basically every time AND I want to shout out the wine moms they radicalized who were like ‘oh fuck these people, I’m running for school board.’

I would love few thing more than for my niblings to fundamentally not understand the sentiment of Fishbone's "Party at Ground Zero", i.e. have no sense of the lingering possibility of nuclear obliteration as constant background radiation.

(Yes, they do have school shootings, and X, and Y, and Z.)

After quite a few minutes, the spouse & I have determined that "the Herbie Hancock bird" she keeps hearing in the neighborhood is more specifically "the Wiggle Waggle bird".

"outside of Sneads" rural and "Uncle Bobby still fears Chipley like it's a metropolis" rural are both very specific FL sensibilities that I would love to be able to share with someone, anyone,,,

I'd like to point out how awesome it is that the @scholarslab.bsky.social folks put their website code up on GitHub.

Thanks to this openness, I now have suggested citations (whose generation understand) on my own site.

"This is not who we are" should always be understood as an aspirational statement that carries forward the legacy of countless Americans who fought and died to make it as true as possible, to create the space for you and I to take up the rallying cry.

Just delighted by the way @fordhampress.bsky.social came through with my book, Audiofuturism. Excited to be a Fordham author 💕📚

I've learned from more insightful folks that hope is a practice, and the continued resistance-focused "compliance" of people in this town helps me remember to look for what is possible.

There's no need to comply, or to foreclose goodness, in advance.

Deicide on the passenger side of yr anarchist ride

As I watch people who do not live in this country get real smug about how Americans have not "risen up" or whatever, I feel compelled to point out:

We have and we are. People have been killed. Maimed. This is a thing that's happened. And yet millions still protest and take direct action.
